To lead a community-based free social laughter club, or a paid laughter session, or provide laughter workshops to commercial clients, you need to begin with the 2-day Certified Laughter Yoga Leader program. We provide three levels of certification.
Level 1: BRONZE – The Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Course.
This is probably the most fun training that you’ll ever enrol in.
There’s some theory involved—the history, concept, philosophy and techniques—and there’s a lot of practice: you learn Laughter Yoga in a safe, fun, and empowering environment.
Importantly, you also acquire basic facilitation skills to enable you to competently lead a group of people in laughter exercises and laughter meditation.
This training is delivered by Certified Laughter Yoga Teachers.
At the completion of this you will be certified to run a FREE community based laughter club.
Level 2: SILVER – The Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training Academy.
Having completed Level 1, attendees will be required to attend a minimum of 10 one-hour training sessions within the next six months. These sessions are run weekly under the supervision of a Certified Laughter Teacher.
At the completion of these sessions a practical assessment will be completed and you will then be certified to run a PAID community based laughter club.
Level 3: GOLD – The Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Business Accreditation.
Having completed Level 1 and 2, attendees will be required to complete the 2 Day Business Training. The details of this course can be found below.
